Hi packagers (and proventesters)

I've made an update to tzdata to 2010k, this handles the fact that Egypt
will move out of DST during Ramadan this year (August 10, 2010 -
September 9, 2010).

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/tzdata-2010k-1.fc12
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/tzdata-2010k-1.fc13
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/tzdata-2010k-1.fc14

I really need some quick bodhi karma on these updates, so that Egyptian
Fedora users have a chance to have correct timezone data before August
10, 2010.

Here's how you can help:

You can confirm that the fix is in place, by installing the 2010k
package, then running:

BEFORE FIX:

Egypt  Thu Apr 29 21:59:59 2010 UTC = Thu Apr 29 23:59:59 2010 EET
isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
Egypt  Thu Apr 29 22:00:00 2010 UTC = Fri Apr 30 01:00:00 2010 EEST
isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Egypt  Thu Sep 30 20:59:59 2010 UTC = Thu Sep 30 23:59:59 2010 EEST
isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Egypt  Thu Sep 30 21:00:00 2010 UTC = Thu Sep 30 23:00:00 2010 EET
isdst=0 gmtoff=7200

AFTER FIX:

Egypt  Thu Apr 29 21:59:59 2010 UTC = Thu Apr 29 23:59:59 2010 EET
isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
Egypt  Thu Apr 29 22:00:00 2010 UTC = Fri Apr 30 01:00:00 2010 EEST
isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Egypt  Tue Aug 10 20:59:59 2010 UTC = Tue Aug 10 23:59:59 2010 EEST
isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Egypt  Tue Aug 10 21:00:00 2010 UTC = Tue Aug 10 23:00:00 2010 EET
isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
Egypt  Wed Sep  8 21:59:59 2010 UTC = Wed Sep  8 23:59:59 2010 EET
isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
Egypt  Wed Sep  8 22:00:00 2010 UTC = Thu Sep  9 01:00:00 2010 EEST
isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Egypt  Thu Sep 30 20:59:59 2010 UTC = Thu Sep 30 23:59:59 2010 EEST
isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Egypt  Thu Sep 30 21:00:00 2010 UTC = Thu Sep 30 23:00:00 2010 EET
isdst=0 gmtoff=7200

Then, go to the bodhi update and leave Positive Karma ("Works for me").

Thanks in advance,
